It's possible you recover more quickly than most. I certainly couldn't squat and deadlift heavy and be fully recovered just 48 hours later. ... Anyway, if recovery does become a problem you could try something like:

Mon - Squat/Press/DeadliftWed - Bench/Row/Pull-up

OR

Mon - Squat/Bench/RowWed - Deadlift/Press/Pull-up

Otherwise you could squat/deadlift heavy on Monday and light on Wednesday.

Power comes from moving weight fast. Power transfers to most sports performance better than any other single fitness attribute. If you do strength training correctly, you will increase power production anyway as the intent should always be to accelerate the weight as fast as possible. However, power training specifically would include Olympic lifts, some kettlebell lifts, jumping, plyometrics, etc. A combination of power movements and strength movements often work out the best. Kenny Croxdale wrote an article on Complex Training that explores this.

i don't know how good i recover. it also depends on how hard the coach is making the soccer trainings between the workout days. with squatting 2-3 times heavy per week i hadn't problems yet, but deadlifting very hard on mon+wed could be a problem.

of course it could be better for the body to squat and deadlift as less as possible, while it's still enough to gain strength.

You will be able to make steady progress each week without running into trouble with recovery. I dont think anyone should do any serious squatting or deadlifting twice a week if they play football 3-4 times a week O_o

Wendler has a 531 template like this for athletes worried about recovery and progress or just busy minimalist people. Dont remember which book it was probably the powerlifting one it has alot of variations.

And to your worries about cleans... just power clean as long as you explode(accelerate from floor then try to jump with the bar and shrug and catch) your doing it right enough. Weights will be light anyway so there really no risk of injury compared to trying to work max power cleans which would be pointless since explosiveness is what you want :) And you dont have to drop it... just lower it!

i like to focus on the lifts you mentioned in the end. but if my actual routine is not enough volume, i'm gonna throw some acessory stuff in. the 531 two times a week program would fit my schedule well.
